DSS-1000 User Manual
1.3 Accessing DSS-1000
DSS-1000 can be accessed and managed in two ways: via Local access or Remote access.
Local Access
A monitor that is directly connected to DSS-1000 via the HDMI or Composite port is
considered Local Access by a Local Client. Users can view the videos from the camera
and manage network configurations right through the monitor.
To access DSS-1000 user interface, simply connect a USB mouse and a monitor to
DSS-1000.
See Chapter 2: Local Management on page 21 for more information.
Remote Access
Remote Access is connected over the TCP/IP network and communicates through HTTP
protocol. Remote access can either be from a web or mobile client. A computer with a web
browser is a web client and a mobile device with the Active Mobile Client software is a
mobile client. Both are considered Remote Clients.
On a computer with Internet Explorer, users can access DSS-1000 web interface by typing
the IP address of DSS-1000 without installing any client program beforehand. Logging in is as
simple as visiting a website.
Users can also view the videos via Active Mobile Client using mobile devices, like iPhone,
iPad, iPod and Android devices. This feature only allows the users to view videos, advanced
configurations must still be done through the local client or remote access through a web
client. For more information, please refer to the Mobile Client documentation downloadable
from the website.
NOTE: For simplicity,Remotethe accessterm” “all throughout this documentation ref remote access by a web
client (PC).
Local vs. Remote Access
In most cases, it is recommended to perform the initial configurations, before DSS-1000 is
even mounted to its location, using local access. Once the initial configurations are
complete, install DSS-1000 and start viewing the videos through the local display. Further
management or advanced security settings may be done through remote access.
